100% agree.
Most of my news has been through an active interest on the YouTube. Glad too see such a large turnout, it's been a wild ride. Pretty scary to watch at times, hard to really tell what the actual consensus is on the ground level.
Good to see people taking action.
Yeah, I find it kinda funny that the "great again" era that is constantly referenced is actually this era of loosing the House and the Senate that is specifically being refrenced now. Mate, you can't have it both ways; do you want the house and the Senate and the House or do you want it to be "great again?"
Yes exactly right! I love oil and I think we really need to make sure that everyone gets enough food and medicine so that they can learn about why it's so great. If we get more money into schools and research we will be the best drillers on the planet. Right makes right!
Yeah, lots of violence begets violence. Thanks for the link, I gave it a quick scan, will have a read later on.
Well as far as understand it's to do with the strait by Yeman, Bab al-mandab. My very limited "knowledge" is from a very "in the background while doing chores" series of YouTube videos.
Rockets have been fired from Yeman at ships passing through the strait. Countermeasure missile things exsist to stop ships from being exploded but they cost a literal million dollars a go. A large % of oil going to Europe passes through there or has to go south around the Horn of Africa. Either way is beacoup bucks so the texts were about killing the guy that was getting folks together to fire the rockets.
I didn't gleam much relevent beyond that.
Like for real? Or is a sort of retorical question of how could killing one individual possibly lead to a substantive enough change in the political landscape?
Without any context it or history its just kinda dickish? Like maybe a good burn to a rival in some sort of relevent scenairo but this just sounds like an attempt to belittle someone by "mistaking" them for something "lesser" then when called on it they double down?
Strikes me as grade school level bullying at best 🤷
Had a read, would toss it in the "boats at night" pile. There was a geneal misread of the intended vibe of one another. Everyone came in with their genuine hats but left with something off-brand.
The original post is more of a commentary on the fact that old trucks have value just in being old trucks. Beyond the vintage stuff that all vehicles have there are certain trucks that are reliable easy to fix, easy to get parts for and not 4 wheeled tanks; valuable to someone who actually uses a truck as a daily worker. It's a thing that is mostly unique to trucks because of their value as a work vehicle. (Sprinter type vans also have a similar type thing now because of the vanlife™ community)
So, if your in the know the comment reads a lot like a conversation about those 40yo washing machines that never die that people talk about. Like, no one is saying a 40yo washer is better but also why are they better? Kinda thing
Your comment seems genuine but feels like you misread that whole meta conversation that was happening. Then instead of them looping you in and saying, "Yo, I'm only being half serious" they instead came with "old trucks hold their value way more then you think, also stop being so serious" which is a little unclear vibe-wise.
So there's a bit of back and forth where you guys are just not really clicking and then you hit em with the: "I'm not sure if you're illiterate, struggle with reading comprehension, or are just plain stupid, tbh" but I assume you were done at that point 🤷

All the same words but from me
And this is a sort of intellectualized version, but then real life, so you need to add in that you may just happen to be acting contrary because you need to eat or got a shit sleep or you're taking to Steve and fuck that guy and then it's even harder to parse.
Wish there was just a print-out sometimes; something that I could check my answers against, see if I'm even on the right track
Why create the "yeah but" space?. If someone points out that there is a problem with gun violence in America the response should be "yeah, that's not good, we should try and figure out some sort of solution" not "yeah but we donate the most in foreign aid".
I'm sincerely not taking the piss. I feel like creating that sort of space is dangerous not only because it avoids accountability but also because it feels nice and its easy to do.
But nothing you said is wrong, I don't think ill of you, not trying to catch you out, I agree with what you are saying. Was just trying to help you follow the thought you were on to see where it would get you.
